Machine Quilting with Templates

Creating Design Perfection

Let award-winning quilter and teacher Kimmy Brunner guide you in making perfectly geometric quilting designs with just three basic quilting template shapes.

You can achieve the quilting precision generally seen only in computerized quilting. With just three basic quilting template shapes and Kimmy Brunner's instruction, you can create perfectly geometric quilting designs too complex to be believed and too easy to pass up. Learn Kimmy's unique and innovative template techniques, including turning blocks into borders, merging traditional block designs, and her signature KimMotion filler design. Use templates directly on your quilt top with a longarm for a creative twist on this fun process or use marking techniques to prepare your quilt tops for domestic machine stitching.

Excellent teacher.. Simple and easy to understand. Uses good examples, doesn't overwhelm students with superfluous info.
